Ageing workforce: prevention and management of occupational diseases like work-related cancers
This event showcases an occupational medicine approach to the ageing workforce focusing on the challenges relating to the prevention and management of occupational diseases in Romania, particularly work-related cancers.
A wide range of speakers, among them EU-OSHA’s director Dr Christa Sedlatschek, discuss work-related cancer prevention, rehabilitation and professional reintegration. They give an update on EU-OSHA’s projects in this area as well as a general overview on the European Pillar of Social Rights.
The event also covers a discussion on the amendments of the Directive 2004/37/EC that protects workers from the risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work, and the challenges of its implementation in Romania.
